At a Meeting of the Board of Guardians, held at the Workhouse at Bulcamp, on Monday, the 2d July, 1838, the following resolutions were passed : Resolved, Ist. That the great design of the New Poor Law is to call into exercise the prudential virtues of the labouring classes, whereby they may be enabled of themselves to make honourable provision against the vicissitudes and casualties to which their employment and health are necessarily sub jected. 2d, That it is essential to the exercise of those virtues, that the labouring. classes possess the means of suitable institutions, the opportunity of meeting- such provision, and that their improved habits and dispositions under the operation of the New-poor Law necessarily create a de mand f or i ncrease d k now l e d ge an d information regarding the nature and principles of such Institutions. 3d. That the advantages which the National Loan Fund Life Assurance Society hold out to the industrious classes above the best regulated Benefit Societies, merit the attention of all persons desirous of ameliorating the moral and physical conditioa of those classes, and of being considered their truest friends. 4th. That the Right Hon. the Earl of Stredbroke be therefore requested as Chairman of the Blything Union, to convey the thanks of the Board of Guardians to the Chairman and Directors of the National Loan Fund Life Assurance Society, through his Grace the Duke of Somerset, the Patron of that Society, for the Prospectuses so liberally supplied by them for insertion in the work, containing the official account of all the parochial charities and public trust funds in this Union, and that his Lordship he at the same time requested to transmit, for the acceptance of his Grace and of the Cha;rman of that Society, copies of the said work. (Signed) HARRY WHITE, Clerk. COMMISSION OF LUNACY AGAINST LADY SEYMOUR. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. was much struck with a perusal of the proceedings in a Commission of Lunacy against Lady Seymour, inserted in your paper of Thursday. As I seldmt read the reports of such cases, my attention was first directed to it by noticing that part, in which Mr. Winslow is reported to have said to the Jury :—" That the period of the lucid intervals must be stated in their Verdict, and that they must also state whether she as a Lunatic OR NOT :"—whercupon, the jury who had re turned a general verdict of Lunacy against the Lady, were under the necessity of retiring to re-consider the matter, after which they returned stating, that they could not agree to a verdict, without hearing farther evidence; and the enquiry was then adjourned to give time for the production of other wit nesses. These circumstances led me to read the whole report and without taking up your time and space, I must say, that I never perused anything bearing the shape of evidence, which less warranted the conclusion to which the jury at first, were inclined to come. I, therefore, as one of your numerous readers, concur entirely in the rembrks you made on the case, and cannot omit obsendng that the public are under great ob ligations to you, for watching such proceedings, which affect the well-being of the community. It is not for me to impugn the motives of those whose instituted the enquiry ; but it ap pears strange, that the Lady's physicians and relatives seem so anxious to establish her insanity, and to have one of her rela tives appointed to take charge of her son as well as her pro perty; while the statements and appearance made by herself, must convince every reasonable person that she is perfectly compos mentis, notwithstanding all the calamities she hai suf fered. and the injurious treatment to which she has been sub jected. I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, D. M. Westminster, 14th July, 1838. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. MANSFIELD RACES, IVEDrauvAr.

These apartments are entirely separate from the rooms used by the Club, and are approached by a separate staircase, the entrance to which is in a smaller building, which will har- . monize with the larger structure, and is situate between the Travellers and the Club House. The offices are most conveniently arranged, and when completed the whole building will do crcdct to the taste and genius or the architect. The Committee have taken Gwyder House, at White h ill, for two 3 ears and a half, to which place the Club is no-iv removed, and it is expected that at the expiration of that term the new Club-house will be ready for She recep tion of its members.

My LO RDS,-Eight years have passed over since that plague spot the Beer Act was placed upon our statute book, and you have now with becoming manliness declared its total failure. It were well for the country had the worst features of that unfortunate Act been merely of a negative character, and that its failure were its only fault. Alas 1 twice eight years will not suffice to eradicate the moral pestilence which it has spread through the land, or restore our industrious po pulation to that healthy moral tone once their characteristic. The change in this respect has been so general and re markable (in country places) that it must have been observed and ought to be regretted by all. That feeling of self-re spect, of honest, manly pride, to which even the poorest could once lay clai m , h as g i ven way to a species of brutality scarcely equalled amongst the p opu l at i on o f any c i v ili sed country on the face of th e g l o b e ; family broils—a thorough contempt for domesti c p eace and happiness—dog-fighting and man fighting, setting, or poaching, constitute now the prevalent habits of a large portion of our provincial population, amongst whom there seems a growing distaste for all rational pur suits These obse rvations are the result of close and exten sive experience, and to the Beer-shop I unhesitatingly attri bute the change. I shall be asked by some what these is in malt and hops more than in gin or rum to produce such conse quences? The question is easy of solution. It is not simply in the malt and hops, for these were sold in abundance before the Beer Act was passed, that the evil lies. It is in the total absence of responsibility upon the part of those who keep Beer-houses, and in thousands of instances the depraved habits brought to the occupation by those engaged in it. The trade of beer-selling is carried on in the majority of instances by people too poor for any other pursuit but that of manual labour, and whose capital individually would not suf fice to stock a greengrocer's shop with vegetables for a day's consumption. They are mere dispensers of the brewer's stuff, and there is not one in every hundred who, if weighed up, would have a penny to call his own ; they commence ge nerally upon trust, and carry on upon the brewer's sufferance. These arc facts, however unpalatable, known to all in the trade. Beer-shops are now so thickly strewed through the country, that they form the chief abode of the working man. The mechanic, who at his bench could earn a comfortable livehood, and whose homely meal was the sweet bread of toil, it allured by the life of ease, which the Beer-shop-k ee p er seems to •en joy. He desert s his occupation, calculating upon his shrp. mates for support. If they have not money to pay for their beer now, "it will do another time." Between the shop and home are Joe, and Bill, and Jack's beer-shops, they are old shopmates, " we must stop," say the men, " and have a glass here." They have many a glass at eaeb, and thus at the week's end their families must be robbed to pay theßeer-seller, or the Brewer go without his expected returns. This prac tice is particularly prevalent in all the manufacturing districts. Habits are thus contracted, not easily to be laid aside, added to which are a thousand other inducements resorted to by the Beer-seller to induce attendance and prolong the stay. The solemn question is now before the Legislature—is this right, and shall it continue; or is it wrong, and shall it be put an end to? And here, with reference to the views of Messrs. Hume, Warburton, and Hawes, &c., who have always die played a laudable anxiety to resist every retrenchment of the poor man's comfort, the people may well say " save us from our •friends." They indeed ought to have been the first to denounce the system—but in charity I must give them credit for perfect ignorance of the practical operations of the Beer Act, else I must conclude that to their idolatrous attachment of a free trade principle they are willing to sacrifice th e gran d end of all their aims—the happiness of the poo r . Up on w h a t other intelligible principle is it th at t h ey a d vocate a system which allures the poor man into most selfish and profligate expenditure of the pitlance which he should ever consider more his family's than his own. Will they, in their deliberate mo ments, advise the working man first to spend all his earnings, end then run ue to his head and cars in debt, in order to drown in worse than bestial forgetfulness every manly faculty and feeling? If. nit, why ettemet, in defiance of putlic opinion and universal reprobation, to prop up a system whose only ten dency that is? I sincerely hope that their advocacy in thin instance has not its origin in the desperation. produced by the failure of a cheri-,hed principle ; but their threat (in which they are joi :ed by Spring lice) against the Licensed Victuallers, provoked by the failure of the Beer Act, is not merely un statesmanlike—it betrays the pettishness of a child, and a pitiful, unmanly degree of resentment. After the frequent exposures which from time to time have been made of the baneful results of the Beer Act, ore would be inclined to think that, a mind honestly disposed, would confess its inability to furnish a defence. But a defence is found—vested interests arc referred to, and humanity is invoked to throw its protecting shield over the beer-shop. Have then the thousands of families w h o h a v e been consigned to beggary, destitution, and the workhouse , to support those beer shops, no claim to humanity. I s the child of the workin g man toe leek its bt ofad bread? l the nourishment.mo th elrs, the u youthful fsuule mindi g to babe, to waste fo r v grow op, rude as nature formed it , a nd not a p enn y to be left fur pe.peses o f education? D oes humanity dictate that all s h ou ' d be se - a% lowed up in that r uthless vortex, the Beer-shop. Oh, &se crate not t h e name The humanity th a t wou ld save the Beer san re shop from destruction doss but belie the name. My Lords, your declared convictions of the result of the Beer Act has produced a general feeling of jay through the country. , Repeal that Act, and you will consummate your claim to a nation's gratitude. - A COUNTRY OBSERVER. Manchoier, July 12, 1838.

BIGAMY.—At the Devon county sessions last woes, a man was indicted for bigamy, he having married a second wife, the former being they living. It appeared that, in 1811, a woman of the parish of Hemlock, who was cnciente, swore to the prisoner as being the f .ther, and he was apprehended by the ;wish officers. He denied and not bein g a bl e to pay was held in custody.

A licence was immediately procured, and he was taken from cus. tody to the church, where ti-c ceremony was gone through. On coming o.it of church, however, they separated ; his wife went her way, and he retired to his home. Ten yeats since ti e married a second wife, with whom he Imed in happiness and contentment. The former woman now be a ne chargeable I ' ) the parish, and the accused not being willing or in circumstances to maintain her, an indictment was piefared ageinst him by the paris, i o ffi cers for bigamy, which was sustained wholly upon the allegation that h e knew his first wife was alive.

PETTIGO, Mit 12:—A report having spread yesterday that the Orangemen intended to burn the priest's house, some two or three hundred men, !tons a distant part of the parish, were marching into town, A 5 they said, to protect it, when they were n1C!„. by that gentiellan's Curate, the Rev. Mr. Hamel, who, with runic difficulty, persuaded them to re. turn to their homes. Too much praise cannot be given to Mr. Hamel for his timely interference, as, had they gr , t into the town, the consequences would have been most awful. . They were bringing ladders, &c. &c., to tear down the flags, ann and the Orangemen were loading their arms to oppose them. Mr. Haley, stipendiary magistrate for the county, arrived here about two o'clock yesterday, shortly after which the bell ceased tolling. The display of Orange sashes, ribbons, and flowers, was tery profuse. There were about 200 country Orangemen so dressed in the town, but no procession was attempted. I am sure it would have been otherwise if the stipendiary ma gistrate was not here. There were three of the Orange lads lodged in the guard-house last night for violating the law— one for firing a shot in the street, saying he would send the Pope to hell. BELFAST—THE TROOPS CALLED OUT.—The Sandy-row Orangemen have sustained their character. The following appears in a second edition of the Christian Patriot, a journal of the Dissenters:—. FRIDAY, Two o'Ctock.—Wc have learned that some win dows have been broken in different parts of the town; among others, those of the Roman Catholic Bishop. The police and military, under the direction of Moiony, Esq., Stipen diary Magistrate, have been very active, and have succeeded in preventing more serious mischief, COUNTY OF MONAOHAN..--There were several attempts at Orange exhibitions in this county ; but the firmness and pru dence of Sir William Lynar, S:ipendiary Magistrate, and other police authorities, prevented serious consequences. At Ballinagall, near the, town of Monaghan, Sir William found it necessary to deprive a marching party of Orangemen of their flags and musical instruments, and they were dispersed, hap pily, without r:•sorting to force. At Glasalough, however, the case was different. The Chief Constable, finding that he could not induce an Orange assemblage to disperse, sent for Sir William Lynar, who, after vainly remonstrating with the refractory party, read the Riot Act. The Orangemen then dispersed, because the authority of the Magistrate was enforced by a troop of cavalry and a company of infantry. From other parts of the North, and from Shinrone, in the King's County, we have similar accounts—but we have neither time nor space for particulars." THE 'ATTORNEY- GENERAL. —Mr. Ball was sworn in as At torney-General, yesterday ( Friday last), before Mr. Justice Moore, one of the Judges of Assize, at Kilkenny. The Right Hon. Gentleman proceeded from that city to Clonmel, to at tend his election. —Dublin Evening Post. THEATRE ROYAL LYCEUM. Some curiosity has been excited by the announcement that a young man named William Shakspcare, purporting to be a nephew by descent of the great poet, would make his appear ance at this theatre. The managers, in their bills, had taken a prudent way to avoid any imputationt of an attempt gull the public should the affair turn out an imposition; they had caused to be printed at the head of their Bills the letter from the sot disant Shakspcare to Mr. Peake, the treasurer, which they took as sufficient testimony of the facts, thus laying their case before the public eye, and fairly leaving to the judgment of observers whether they would admit the evidence or Lot. Shakspcare made his appearance on Saturday night, and was naturally exposed to two species of criticism, each equally detrimental to his future exertions ; cne class of persons, taken by the name, _would at once resolve to applaud its ' bearer through thick and thin, whether he did ill or well ; while another, also taken by the name, would conjure up to theMselves an ideal standard of perfection, and be inclined utterly to crush the young debutante, provided he fell short of the exalted mark. He appeared in a piece of his own, called the Queen's Command, in which he acted the character of the great Shakspeare. The little drama had no plot what ever. It consisted of a series of detached scenes, each of which might have been taken from separate pieces, aiid ne cessarily representing Shakspeare with the players, Shaks pcare in love and jealous, and Shakspeare pleading the enure of the actors before Queen Elizabeth. The young man's figure is good, and the expression of his . face interesting, and bear. ing in its general contour no small resemblance to the bust of Shakspeare at Stratford. His acting displays some feeling and knowledge of stage businass. He does not tread the boards as a mere novice, and there is evidently somcthiog like conception about him which is exceedingly crude, and often vanishes when one attempts to trace it. However, the very knowledge he possesses he has picked up at a bad school, and if his own good sense sometimes prompts him to a genu ine expression of feA'ngs, he invariably gives a burst of pis• sion in the worst style of melodramc. As an author, we have not the slightest hops of him; there was nothing in his pro duction to mark even the hand of a crude dramatist. We may be deceived, but judging from this specimen, we should at once advise Mr. Shakspeare to have nothing to do with authorship. Some of Bishop's music, with words from Shak spcare's poems, was interspersed throughout, and sung by Miss Rainsforth and Miss Poole. The former i 3 now one of the best singers on the English stage, and is at the same time a pleasing and interesting acress. The Queen's Command was announced for repetition with loud applause, and Mr. Shak speare was called for, and made his how to the audience evi clentls hi a state of high nervous excitement. A NOVEL TRICK —A poor woman living in thy, neighbourhood of the itue de Bibylone, in Paris, was induced, the day before yesterday, to give up her child, two years of age, to another woman who called on her, stating that a Baroness, who had iccenlly last her own infant of the same age, had heard that it bore a great resemblance to the woman's, was anxious to se•2 it, and had sent some of her lost child's linen to dress it in, to render the llkcn7ss more cm _ • _ !etc, and promising to bring it ba:k in the afternoo•i. The motlwr weakly consented to let the chit I go. The time promised for its return having long elapsed without its being broullit back, the mother went to the police, and stated the circum•tances. The woman who had pre tented to tie the cook of the Baroness, was found, and brought boron the commissary.

CLIMBING UP TO TIIE TOP OF ST. PRTEIt'S.— Baron Rochow and myself were constant companions, and in our walks about Rom? were in the habit of attempting every difficult feat of climbing and l...aping that fell in our way. One day a p ar t y o f us, con. sisting of Rochow, Hu',mantle!, Landoll, Count du 'retire, and myself, paid a visit to St. Peter's Church. Around the church, at the spring of the roof, is a broad cornice, and Rochow and I anm.ed ourselves, and horrified Landon and Du Tertre, by leaping across the chasms formed by the cornices of the pilasters. Upon arriving at the top of the pant, rn," on which is the ball and cr ss, we mounted the little irrn ladder that turns under the bill ake the " futtock shrouds" cf a ship's top, and got to stand upon the ball. The French had plaved there a lightning conductor, rising about ten feet above the summit of the cross, to which it is attached by stron j screw staples. By means of this rod (nearly two inches in diameter) we got upon the cross-top, and then I "swarmed" myself up the conductor, so as to emb - ace, with my thigh, a flange, which, at two feet trom the point, receives four thick - wire stays attached to the ball below. In this position my head was ac. tually two feet above the golden Pit of the conductor. '[he wind, being very high, caused me to sway from side to side in a mariner un Icasant to behold, whit, Ilullinandel, Land,r, and R chop. were star it. 'under me, on the arms of the cros , . They all three resolved upon my plsce ; so, after attaching. with copper Sc ire, to the point of •' e conductor, a littk leaden plate with our names engraved thereon, and a ribbon six yards long, I descended to the cross, and my corn. rades, each in succession, swarmed to the top of the conductor. -- Camel Maceronrs Memoirs.

On investi gation it was discovered that she was owner of a small cAttage, for uhieb she had paid 500 francs, a sum of 2,00 fra,.cs in silver money in (die bag, and an unaccountable number of two sons pieces of nixed metal, disiribut,d . in closets, chests, baskets, and (Aber places of concealment, which were put by the magistrates into two casks, and estimated by measure anl weight at no less than 8,100 : a cs.

TUESDAY, JULY 10. DEAEDEN V. 'TIE MANCHESTER AND LEEDS RAILWAY COI:RANY.-JUDGMENT. The VIcE-CitaNcar.aola—Now I have heard this mo tion from beginning to end, just in the same manner as if it lied heel broil& blfore me for the purpose of obtaining' au injunctian when the raal case before me is, only who is to p the coils of the motion ? Non', it appears me that it is not necessary for the purpose of deciding this question to enter into the great number of poiles that base been urged. It is Lot na..essary for me to decide wlMther those nuts, which it is admitted the CoMpanY have done, were acts tepid; they were vrictly authoriaal to do on the construc tion of that part of the Act of Parliament which gave 41 1ern leave to enter into the lands, end do certain things on and t'i'ler the 1 krlq, for the purpesa of setting . out the Ra'hialy. Ilier e is one thing whiCh appears to the to be perfectly plain, Ona:, , is . this—th a t th e pet;tioner has come much too late t o ohtan, an injunction, admitting that the acts were such as they are re } aresented, namely, that they are acts of gross waste, and so on ; and that there was a cutting down of timber totally unnecessary and unwar rantde ; and that there was a making of solid shafts in the manner describe.' ; and that all that was illega'. It rip petrs from the affidavit—first of all, of Mr. Scott—it ap pears " that the works and acts complained of in the rai I bill were commenced in the month of June last, with the knowledge at that time of said plaintiff as this defendant believes. And he ssith that in the month of July forow ing, he ccnvcrsed with the steward of the said plaintiff re specting the fame. And this deponent said. that such works and acts continued in operation from that period to the pre sent time." Then he states the cutting down of the trees was at long ago as the month of June last. The answer represents that some of the trees were cut down in the month of June, as 1 understand from Mr. Jacob's copy, and some in -Sep tember, or, as it in my copy, some in the month of June and the rest in the month of November. It is quite plain that the plaintiff .knew what was going forward, and it is stated also in the answer, " That some time about, or shortly previous to, the month of August last, said plaintiff, by Mr. Denison his solicitor, applied to these defendants, through Mr. Brackenbury their solicitor, and requested to have a plan of all the land lying between Little Borough and Todmorden (which is a distance of 5 mi:es.or there abouts) through which it was intended that saidrliailway should pass, and that accordingly and in compliance with such request on the part of said plaintiff, a plan of such last amntioced land was ;prepared on a large scale, being about ten tames the scale otaa.'l parliamentary plan, and spewing clearly ali the land through cvhich it was intended that said Railway shouitla :lass, between .latle Borough and Todmor den aforesaid, and that an accurate copy of such last plan men tioned t last, deliv ere d t o was, in the month of Augta: said plaintiff and his said solicitor, and fhb same was left with and retained by them for several month: after said coyyhold had been so left as aforesaid, in order that they, said plaintiff and his said solicitor, might be fully acquainted with the particulars of all the land as mentioned and de scribed in such plan, which was required by these deft n dents for the purpoaes of said Acts of Parliament, wheraby these defendants say they believe that said plaintiff became, and has been ever since said month of August last, well acquainted with all such last mentioned particulars." And then they state that there was than paper delivered on the 14th of November, 1837, which is mentioned in the bill ; then the defendants say that " said estimt;te or proposal of the said plaintiff was and is, in the judgment and belief of these defendants, exorbitant and unreasonable." Now that it was exorbitant and unreasonable is perfectly manifest from the finding of the jury, for the plaintiff did, by this paper in the month of December, 1837, require that he should be paid the sum of 847/. expressed, besides some other sums which are not expressed, for the timber destroyed, and for the stones taken, and on a proper dis cussion of that claim of the plaintiff's, the jury thotijht it right only to give 3601. 18s. 9d. Mr. BACON--It is 3301.—the sum given to the tel ant it to be deducted. The VICE-CHANCELLOR—That makes 330/. 18s. 9d., so that one does not know what were the sums be had in his own mind fixed as proper to he paid for the timber and stones, but it is perfectly manifest with respect to the sum he asked, 847/., he asked much more than twice the sum ho was justly entitled te, and the Company refused to accede to the demand. Still they went on talking, but on the 6th ,of March the treaty was broken off. Suppose the Directors of the Company, or some of them, said we will not pay any thing—wilat did that amount to ? Was it not plain that the Company - could not take the land for these works with out paying for i: either by means of an assessment before a jury under the Act. qt . Parliament, or in the shape of da mages for that %AK'h was unquestionably a t respass ? therefore such words al; .these might have been uttered in anger and in haste, but they" could absolutely h a v e no mean ing at all, and so the plaintiff must have known. Th en it appears by this Admit of Mr. i3eott, that the works here been in continual operation, abort which there is no doul.t. And then he says, that the other a: is " complained of by the said bill, so fir as they have taken p: ace, in fact, or some of them have been in constant progress' Vr operation ever since the month of September last. And th;.3 deponent fur ther saith that there lit.ve been as many as I . :ve hundred men at one time employed in and about the ca:rying rn of the said works of the said Company, in and upon the !aids in the said bill mentioned, and that there are not:, as this deponent believes, more than three hundred 'so em ployed, and that if the said works were to be stopped it will occasioa a very serious loss." Then because the .plaintiff cannot extract from the Company more than double what he is entitled .to he breaks off any treaty with the Company, and then on the 10th of February filed h's bill. Why, all the while, lie was cog nizant of what the Company was doing. Was it ever beard when a man has for a series of months been allowing with full notice the Act of which he complains to be carried on, and when it wag manifest the Company must have ex pended large stuns of money, and were employing a vast number of men on the works, that this Court is to inter fere by Injunction ? I apprehend not—l remember per fectly well when this affidavit tees made, and came before mein some shape—it struck me at the time this Court ought not to interfere, adverting to what is stated in the answer. My opinion is, that really the plaintiff's conduce has been this—that under pretence of the Act of Parlia ment, and the rights of the Lord of the Manor, and as owner of the land, he has endeavoured to extract from the Company that which in common justice he must have known he was not entitled to. My opinion is, that the conduct of the plaintiff has been extremely wrong, and that this motion should be treated as a motion for an Injunction, after the plaintiff has lain by so long, as that it would be improper in the Court to grant it ; cansequently, therefore, plaintiff must pay the costs. MARRIAGE OF GEORGE IV. AND 111 Ii S. FITZHERBERT. (From the Edinburgh Review.) Wo have reecived.froin Lord Stourton a lett2r respecting our notice of the above article, of Mrs. Fitiberbert's mar. riage; and we have much pleasure in hying before our readers a com,:nunieation so creditable to the feelings of the noble Writer : " To TUE EDITOR OF TIIE EDINBURGH REVIEW. " Sir,—A mit;-statement, no doubt unintentional, of the circumstances a tt en( ;:ng the marriage of MrA. Fi;zherbert, in one of your late articles, being liable to a can-traction, in the views of members of her r cligiom communion, iojusious to her 1-Imitation, you will, I am s7trc, readily oblige me by in ,ertiug in your next Number th., following more accurate stat.nricitt, for the lideltty of which I p!ldt.;:` my honour.

All the parti:s being now dc,!eased. to ordinary rtade»; this discrepancy will ‘ppcar of little ntoment ; as the ce rereoity, rierLvt.r it was perL.rinvd, could conk'r no legal righ:s ; and no istre followed this union. But when I inform yqu fo4 in the one case— that stated in your arti• c'e—it would have been r.n invalid marriage as uffeeting the conscience of Mrs. Fitzheibert in the sight cf her own church ; and that in the other tae it formed a conscientious connexion in the opinion of such portions of Christendom AS hold communion with the See of Rome, I am confident you will permit this statement, under my name and responsibility, to appear in your journal. I :Audi, moreover at 'td—that the conscientious validity of the contract depended upon the fact that the discipline of the Council of Trent as to marriage has never been r,:ceived in this country. I owe this plain coon ter•statemeet to the memory of Mrs. Fitzherbert, - in order that aspersions which, from peculiar circumstances, she was herself unable to rebut w hen living, should not be inscribed without contradiction on her tomb. That I have not 05- ciou-ly imptsed on myself an unnecessary duty in endeavour ing to protect the fame of this virtuous and distinguished lady, or am about to mislead by erroneous facts, 1 must ap peal to the following extract from one of Mrs. Fitzherbero letters to myself, which closely followed certain confidential communicattons, on which I rely for the perfect accuracy of my infcrmaticn on this delicate subject : " My dear Lord Stourton,—l trust wierever it pleases God to remove me from this world, my - cond , vet and character in your hands will-.not disgrace my family or my Paris, Dec. 7, 1833.'

BRISTOL SUGAR-MARKET* JULY 13.--Con6- tierce has, in a slight degree, been re-established in our market, and ratter more business has been done; but looking at the Immense stock 0110,000 lihds. and 55,000 mats of sugar, and the high prices still ob. t a i n ed, our views arc not in the least altered. As we before stated, the great demand of this period will, in all probability, prevent any great decline at present ; yet, such is the general conviction it must take place, that any flat account from the principal market (London) instantly causes a suspension of business, a dread Of buying, and an axiety to eel.. —,Bristol Mercury, ~~1 •
